256_95 interference 95. Similarly, in the case of Protopapa v. Turkey (no. 16084/90, (§§ 104-112, 24 February 2009), where the applicant and other demonstrators had clashed with the security forces while demonstrating and had subsequently been arrested, the Court considered that there had been an interference with the applicant’s right of assembly. The Court however concluded that the interference was necessary in a democratic society as it found that the intervention of the security forces had been provoked by the demonstrators’ acts of violence and that the interference had not been disproportionate for the purposes of Article 11 § 2 (see also Vrahimi v. Turkey, no. 16078/90, §§ 111-122, 22 September 2009; Andreou Papi v. Turkey, no. 16094/90, §§ 105-116, 22 September 2009); and Asproftas v. Turkey, no. 16079/90, §§ 103-114, 27 May 2010).
